@JMK1954 - No, it's a question with a half a second answer. Bigger things in life to take umbrage with.

I just came back from holiday, first time going away since I have been on Insulin and using a Dexcom G6. They didn't care about my frio bags, but they hand searched me massively as I didn't go through the scanner due to the G6 on me. I would say it was bloody excessive considering I had a letter...

5.4%

I drink far too much of it, probably around 2ltr a day. Has zero impact on my BS. Same goes for Coke Zero, or Diet Coke.

I drink about 2ltrs of Pepsi Max a day have done for the past 10 years. And managed to lose A LOT of weight as well...

What are you having for supper? - Everyone is different, as a type 1 LADA I just inject to cover for it, but before I had to take insulin I didn't have a specified time as such between waiting I would just use my sugar levels as a guide, if I was hovering around 4-6 I'd eat something if I was...

288 times a day! But that is because I have a Dexcom G6 prior to this and prior to having to take Insulin (LADA) I checked maybe 2 or 3 times a week, then when it started getting high around 4 times a day in the morning and after each meal. I am sure you will get it back on track. This forum...

I didn't, forget the chips and the white bread and I think it should class as low carb! :D Opps.

Breakfast: - Bacon and Egg sandwich on white bread with a portion of Hollumi and Turkish sausage. Lunch - Was a sandwich with Parma ham, some peanuts in chocolate and some grapes Dinner was Steak, chips, mushrooms, asparagus and breaded camembert.

At the end of the day, people will do what is right for them, I am still learning the ropes of MDI but I am not fussed overly about the spikes, I do have much control over them now and very rarely do I go over 10. Mostly I stay in the 8's before coming back down to anywhere between 4.5-5.5...

I was told that my T1 LADA was due to my weight! "shame about your weight or this wouldn't have happened" I mean I am 6 foot and 15 stone big but not massive!

Really good advice! - I can't add to this!

Breakfast - 2 slices of home white made sourdough, avocado and 2 eggs and streaky bacon. Lunch - Footlong(!) wholemeal subway with steak, cheese, lettuce and onions. Snack - Apple, Banana and Grapes Dinner - Lasagna - normally I'd use butternut squash slices as the "pasta" but today decided to...

You'll love the Dexcom it really is a great bit of kit. I had gone about 3 years of LADA without having to use insulin but that started to change a few months back I went from being 5.4% hA1bc to 8% in my 6 monthly checks in February. Now I just decided to bite the bullet and inject. I don't...

@Jayden2407 I have been using the G6 for about a month and it is great. I tested with my finger for the first week as I wanted to make sure the CGM was accurate and it has also been within 0.2mmol which is pretty perfect. I haven't done any fingers pricks for the last 3 weeks and based on the...
